Governments could allow xoxxing but only if the copies go on a no-return trip to another star system. Anyone even slightly paranoid about "TPK" disasters happening to the solar system would consider it as a form of insurance.

Sending infomorphs would be many many orders of magnitude easier, safer, and cheaper than sending fragile meat-bags. Especially as THS people don't consider death "real" as long as a single copy exists somewhere.
